A Wizard's Guide to Paper Marbling for Bookbinding, Crafting, and Scrapbooking

[@sheilamay758]

White streaks are usually caused by hesitation as you roll the paper onto the size. Often happens if your paper is too dry/brittle. Marmorpaperie in the UK has a great troubleshooting guide on line. You can combine a brief hesitation with a wave like motion to actually create a pattern called Spanish wave that looks like moiré fabric.

[@tangerinejukebox]

And for anyone who has a chance to take a class with Lucy at Marmor Paperie in London, she's an absolute joy to learn with :D I did the intermediate class last week and had a fantastic time!

[@chameleonedm]

@@tangerinejukebox Thank you!

[@larrytodd]

I learned that a few quick passes over the size with a blowtorch eliminate all the bubbles in your size.

[@danieljamesbinderystu2968]

For the people talking about the white streaks are caused by " hesitation "... yes it can be, BUT... There is also a technique where you actually do it on purpose, it is know as the " Spanish wave or ripple ". Iam a full time professional artist and Bookbinder and I hand marble all of my papers for my sketchbook line. And when you are laying the paper down into the bath to print... you have the 2 opposite corners pinched and you start to gently rock the paper causing it to ripple in the water. When it is done correctly, the pattern on the print will look LIKE 3D waves ripplingthrough the pattern, and it cause white streaks sometimeswhen the paint is to thin on the surface of the water. White streaks are also cause by air pockets between the paper and surface of the bath, that is the main cause for white spots near the corners and edges of the paper. People drop the corners unevenly, and way to fast and It traps air...which cause blind spots in the print. Alot of people also sway the paper while putting down the paper on the bath to create an erratic pattern. The best paper for marbled paper prints IMO, is the Mohawk super fine paper, Talas professional marbling paper and Rives BFK paper ( can be bought in 100 yard rolls too ) .. the Mohawk is shiny, very smooth and prints like a dream, and super saturated and smooth. Hope you all have a wonderful day 😁

[@berolinastrassmann]

Hi! Thanks for all the detail your answer provides. I am still looking for the best paper for me and your suggestions were intriguing. How heavy should the papers be? I can find Arches Rives BFK paper, but it comes in 300gsm (probably too heavy for marbling if I want to do bookbinding?) Would 120 GSm Or 90gsm be better? Do they need to be 100% cotton, like Rives? I am looking for papers I can use to do book covers, as I am making my own sketchbooks. Thanks in advance for your comment, if you see this and have a chance to reply.

@@Whocares1987 Hi! I found another marbled in the UK using Munken 120gsm paper. I like Munken in general. Very reliable paper. I need to get some big sheets to try.

[@TheLavanta86]

I did marbling in a very traditional way (using organic pigments, Ox gall, brush from horse tail..etc.. We Turks take pride in marbling art so we try to do it as traditional as possible :) )Streaks are all about how you take the paper from the water tank. You should take the paper with stable hand motion and power. One more recommendation, don't dry your paper by hanging. Put them on a horizontal surface. For the first time doing it, you did a great job! I must applaud your for that!

[@kathyw7451]

Great comment. So kind!

[@Whocares1987]

What do you mean by “stable hand motion and power?”

[@RoseKindred]

@@Whocares1987 I am going to assume they mean as one smooth, even pressured, pull out of the water. Slight hesitation can cause water ripples to go against the small current you create while pulling. At least, that is how I learned it with hyrdodipping.

[@wizardryworkshop]

Thank you! You'll love doing it, it's so satisfying!

[@Punkinshine23]

That's totally what it looked like!!

[@AnotherMADCreation]

Came here to say that very thing! This one was my favorite out of all of them, I loved the contrast between the vibrant yellow and the dark blue and black.

[@deviantoutcast]

100% my association as well. Starry Night also happens to be one of - if not _the_ - favourite paintings of mine. (Though to give an exact ranking of painting's, when it comes to favourites, are impossible in my view, so even saying it's _"the"_ favourite is really to say "It is *_the_* no. 1, without a question" without saying there's only room for one on the stand). In general van Gogh's most famous for his sunflower painting, but I find Starry Night (or De Sterrennacht) to be a much more accurate testament to his true genius as an artist. This is my view and mine alone, but I stand by it as truth: van Gogh painted the world not the way it _looks to be_ , but the way it actually _is_ - and while this holds true throughout especially the later part of his artistry, I believe de Sterrennacht to be the foremost manifestation of this skill. Closely followed by Sterrennacht boven de Rhône (Starry Night over the Rhône) painted one year earlier in 1888 in Arles. It's sad to think that two years later, in July 1890, almost exactly one year after painting de Sterrennacht, van Gogh died, presumably from a self inflicted gunshot to the chest, at the all too early age of 37. And yet, almost 1,5 century later, and despite all of the development seen in art since, his works still has the power to evoke thoughts and feelings and inspire a great sense of genuine awe in people of all ages, from all walks of life, all around the world. While I'm an atheist, and not a believer in anything supernatural, I can't help reserving a place in my mind where the hope that somehow, in some way, he knows that. And it brings him the joy he deserved, but never found, while he was still here, alive, on earth, in this world.

[@sherrybee7227]

The name of your feather pattern is actually called Get Gel. Come and Go. It's the beginning pattern when you use tools. So many wonderful traditional patterns can be created using the tools that you have made. One suggestion. It would be easier if your tool matched the width of your tray. It might mean that you need two sizes depending on how much you want to explore marbling. Your idea for making the tools is a great idea. Another thought. I was taught to hold my paper at the opposite corners. Lay down one corner and gently, and continuously, lay down the rest of the paper. No hesitation lines will happen with a little practice. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@henryyancey1117]

can you please reiterate the laying down technique? i was having alittle trouble following😅

[@sherrybee7227]

@@henryyancey1117 Sure. You laid down your paper from the middle. That is why you had hesitation lines. It's hard to do that smoothly. I was taught to hold the right side of the paper with my right hand at the top right corner, and the left with my left hand at the bottom left corner. (I'm right handed, If you're a lefty it might be opposite) . Then before touching the paint wiggle the paper around to be sure it moves smoothly. Sometimes after we alum the paper can get dry and rigid. Once it is moving smoothly, plant for feet well, take a good breath to relax. Once you feel centered touch the left corner down and in one smooth motion move across the tray by holding the left in place and pulling slightly with the right. You will be laying the paper down at an angle. You should finish by touching the top right corner down. It takes a little practice but you will get the hang of it. Try to watch more you tube videos of people laying paper on a marbling tray. It's good to take a class if you can. Also, since you enjoyed the swirls, please know that there are wonderful traditional patterns. I suggest "Marbled Designs" by Mimi Schleicher. She gives you step by step directions for 55 different patterns. I do love your concept for making your own rakes. That can save a lot of money, plus for the different patterns you will need a number of different rakes. With your concept a person can have all the rakes they wish for just a little time and work. Thank you for that! Please keep marbling and Have Fun!!

[@RsJaneP]

…now I’ve watched the entire video and really enjoyed it, thanks so much! I was in L.A. recently, visiting my young grandkids and we did paper marbling. It all turned out really well and we only used regular printer paper (cut in half) and smaller pans for the size. I had pre-treated the papers with alum before my trip so those were ready to use. I found that the lamda powder completely dissolved when I left it in the jug overnight but I did use distilled water as another marbler highly recommended it depending on how hard your tap water is (I assumed city water is quite hard as it likely has a lot of additives/deposits). I never needed to strain the size at all and thankfully had no clumps or bubbles. The only thing I didn’t have was the ox gall but I played with how much I diluted the paints (inexpensive acrylic craft paint) and it turns out that certain colours just work better than others which I’m assuming has to do with the pigments that were used to make them…maybe some are heavier, which causes them to sink, and or not spread well (???). I used small (2 oz) dropper bottles for each of the colours, which were easy for my grandkids (ages 5, 6, and 7) to add paint to the size without making too much mess. The only tricky part is that we made so many papers, it was challenging to find places to let them dry. The kids had so much fun making beautiful marbled papers and once they were completely dry, we cut some into shapes and collaged onto blank greeting cards for their teachers.

[@caspenbee]

Paper marbling is one of my favorite and strongest memories of my grandma. She always made the most beautiful cards with them too. I bet your grandkids will remember doing that with you as long as they live. :)

[@mayusilkartllc6738]

Next time you are in LA, bring your grandkids for a field trip to visit our marbling studio in Huntington Beach! You paint your own silk scarves and other fabrics, as well as paper, wood, and lots of other materials!

[@PhLo-Mix]

As others have mentioned, the streaking is typically from inconsistent speed as the paper is laid down. This is not just the inconsistent speed you initially lay it down, but also as you remove bubbles by pushing them out with the plastic paint knife. Inconsistent alum application can also cause this if one side of the paper was more saturated than the other (or your alum started separating, so it was inconsistently concentrated), or the treated sheets dried/drained unevenly as they were hanging. Another thing I've had happen... once your size gets overused and dirty, chemicals from your paint - including the ox gall - mix in and effect how the paint reacts or spreads on various parts of the surface (even if you try to remove it with the newsprint). I used to get annoyed when this kind of thing happened and considered them "errors." By now I have come to realize paper marbling is chaotic by nature, and you never know what you'll get. In this sense, everything is an "error," but if it looks interesting, who cares!? :) Many of the favorites I've done were from weird experiments like you also tried.

Part of the issue with the light streaks could be the way you are putting the paper down, hesitating after the center is down. Try holding the paper by opposite corners when putting it down. I don't use ox gall and it works just fine as well.

L'effet plissé se produit lorsque l'on fait bouger le papier au moment de le déposer sur la peinture. Le moindre tremblement produit un effet "drapé" qui peut aussi être voulu dans ce cas il faut faire bouger légèrement le papier de haut en bas lorsqu'on le dépose dans la peinture. Ne pas commencer par le milieu du papier mais par un angle en tenant la feuille par deux coins opposés. Merci pour votre tuto bien expliqué.

I had a different idea about the white streaks, that they were caused by the way dragged the paper through but lingered in some spots while you changed the direction of pull or, maybe, let the pull slow a bit. I have never marbled anything, just watched your process carefully as I did as an engineer when I analyzed processes in the auto industry. None of the expert commenters mentioned timing. Maybe my idea is off-base. But I loved the outcome. especially the feathering so I would like to try it. I'm not keen on surrendering some of my baking sheets; maybe I can find something else. Great work! I'm now a subscriber.

From other vids I've seen, you could also get $1 tooth brush pack for each color. Then dip and brush your finger over it. One way to not accidentally mix the colors from contact with whatever is on your skin, there are gloves just for a single finger (or cut out fingers from a single glove) and you can swap those out between colors. I've also seen cat whiskers used for making lines through colors, without moving the rest of the water in the pan. Just a suggestion for any who'd like it.

[@DLFH]

Added question: You said we need to rinse the carageenan water from the printed paper and then hang to dry. How does one do the rinsing?

[@wizardryworkshop]

You can do it either in your sink with a gentle drizzle of water (if your sink is deep enough), or you can use a watering can and do it outside or in your bathtub! It doesn't take much, just a quick rinse for about 10-20 seconds.

alum is pronounced like Allen. One reason your colors may not be as intense as you would like, is that is that you have not created enough layers. Each time you flick a new color onto your tray, you are concentrating the intensity of the previous boundaries of color. You can also tone down colors before hand with their compliment.

You can enhance the steaks to where they look like cool folds In the paper. It you kind of rock the paper on the surface of the size *as you lay it down*, then you will get streaks and they can be used to your benefit.

The white streaking on the page happens when you hesitate putting the paper down/ don’t put it down smoothly. Sometimes it’s actually down intentionally to create a moiré effect.

[@MoniqueAO888]

Fantastic video !!! 🙂 So nice to see everything in detail from the beginning to the end including all the ingrediences. And I really love how you made a rake the simple way.
